the leverage team would have had a games night… once. everyone cheated so much and in such increasingly extreme ways that all mentions of monopoly are banned in their headquarters (this makes talking about marks who monopolize the market very confusing)

red let them have a happy ending my heart hurts for them
isnt funny how Aiden and Tyler are stretched out and both ended up ‘dying’ and Ben and Taylor who were more in a sitting position were left to grieve ,,
Guys I just noticed we never see Logan when he was young 🤨
We saw Tyler, Taylor when Tyler has a flashback when he die, same for Aiden and ash when she explained for the first time she has a sensitive hearing , BUT WE NEVER SAW LOGAN AS A CHILD
Have you ever considered the fact that maybe Ben's voice doesn't sound bad at all? That his voice might be SIMPLY NORMAL??
Look-
Vocal cords normally take 2-6 weeks to start healing and making hearable voice again, even with injuries, they may take few months, BUT when the patient is -18, VOCAL CORDS HAVE THE HIGHEST CHANCE OF HEALING PERFECTLY-
Also keep in mind that at that time he hadn't enter his puberty yet, and - as you know - voice changes once you start it, it's not just that his vocal cords healed while growing, it's the reality that he WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP HIS OLD VOICE ANYWAYS.
Even if his current voice sounds a little deeper than the others, it's probably just his genes ( I mean have you seen his dad?)
Like, He was too stubborn to give his voice another chance , too unsure to love it again, TOO ANGRY TO GIVE IT A TRY.
Maybe he just built his own cage by his own hands.,.
So, we all kinda know that rifts form in places with a dark history like the Sorrel Weed House, where two people committed suicide, or the abandoned building where Ashlyn was born that I'm assuming is a school given that they're a very common spot for suicide. So we know death has something to do with rifts forming.
But what causes them to open? I have a theory that has like zero evidence but I feel like blood has something to do with it.
Essentially, I think that you need to spill some blood in order to open and close a rift once you're at the location. Emma bled during birth in the real world, which is when the rift opened. Then Mike got cut and started bleeding too in the shadow dimension so the rift closed.
Ashlyn got cut by the phantom in the shadow dimension before the rift closed too. So, given that Jasmine said she opened the rift to drag Ashlyn in, she probably cut her hand or something to do it.
Maybe because it was Ashlyn (who already had a special connection with the shadow dimension due to being born there) that closed the rift the second time that it didn't close properly and dragged the others in as well.
This is legit only based on these two pictures so I'm probably wrong but it's fun to theorize.
How long has it been already? Weeks? Months? Maybe years? Does it matter? What’s the point of counting time anyway. What’s the point of going to school, to ballet recitals, hell, even out of her room to eat and shower?
What’s the point of sitting in the bus if Aiden wasn’t annoying her with his bizarre adventures. What’s the point of brushing her hair if Ben wasn’t offering to braid it. What’s the point of looking at the night sky if Logan wasn’t explaining every constellation and its meaning. What’s the point of doing anything about the broken coffee machine if Taylor would’ve gladly helped and struck up a conversation that ended up in everyone meeting up. What’s the point of listening to music if Tyler wasn’t trying to learn and teach it on the guitar the next day.
What’s the point of living in her house if her parents aren’t there? What’s the point of falling asleep and waking up if it wasn’t to hundreds of worried messaged, and occasionally bad memes, in the groupchat. What’s the point of boardgames if Aiden and Tyler weren’t there to take it too seriously and fight over it. What’s the point of goingto the grocery store if it didn’t end up with being stuck in carts and buying too much junk food. What’s the point of watching movies if it wasn’t all together.
What’s the point of her if she couldn’t save anyone. What’s the point if she didn’t accomplish anything. What’s the point if she was the last one left
What’s the point
——————————————————————————
Based on my theory here
(basically if Ashlyn was the only one who got out)
am I the only one who thinks Aiden’s parents were nicer than people think?
Disclaimer: this probably makes no sense because I made this sleep-deprived but still wanted to post it
I’ve seen and read a lot of fics, posts, etc. about Aiden’s parents being neglectful, rude, or forcing etiquette onto Aiden but there’s no way I’m the only one who thinks otherwise.
In (S2) Ep. 61, we see a glimpse of Aiden’s ‘childhood’ of him as a child curled up on the bed in a messy room. This scene just made me think overall that Daniel and Jessica can try their best as parents but overall, they have horrible parenting skills.
In the same episode, we see how much they care for Aiden. Daniel and Jessica begin to panic when Aiden starts seizing and you can see it plain on their faces.
They’re both reaching out to him and maybe it’s because they’re his son so their brain automatically creates this worry but they wouldn’t be like this if they didn’t care.
But in the next episode, we can see that Daniel is sitting on the couch while watching over Aiden who is sleeping. He’s clearly worried for his son and no one can make me think otherwise, that one panel is everything to me.
Even at the hospital, once Taylor starts shouting at them and they see the phantoms out the window, Jessica wants to leave with Aiden. Might be a small detail but I’m gonna use it for my argument (I don’t know if that’s the right word).
When we see younger Aiden who seems expressionless in the family photo, I think it would be safe to assume he was forced into that position, right? In my opinion, it could’ve just been him wanting to make his parents proud rather than being forced, or I think this case would be half-forced.
In episode 78, Daniel and Jessica’s first concern is the state of their son who is passed out and is aware that he died in the phantom dimension (which they are in), they would be pretty worried. They rather hear an explanation for Aiden’s state than how or why they are also stuck in the dimension.
Looking further into Daniel and Jessica’s parenting skills or issues, they probably haven’t seen the issue or fault in their parenting. They allowed Aiden freedom by giving him allowance, letting him dye his hair at a young age (guessing around grade 7 or 8), and letting him get red eye contacts.
But at the same time, they’re barely there. I think parents assume kids are fine or overreacting when seeing them in a state of deep sadness and they must’ve gone through the same thinking process.
In the end, I think Jessica and Daniel love Aiden very much. No one can change my mind.
No one can tell me they abuse him, insult him—he literally has the same eyes as his father— or I don’t know what anyone else has said.
Daniel and Jessica love Aiden they just need to up their parenting skills or needed to.
in another universe taylor and ashlyn never made it out of this room. the last thing the others heard were their screams before they walked in to find them already ripped apart by the phantom. the last thing tyler heard was taylor’s screams. just a thought.
